What year is your car?

Since you said you replaced a 9005 bulb, you may have only replaced your high beam/DRL bulb. Depending on what year your car is, the low beam bulb is a 9006 (92-96), a H7 (97-04), or a H11 (05-06).

Well, you're saying you removed a 9005, but the 9005 bulb on a 98 is the high beam/DRL bulb. The low beam bulb is a H7.
